Default bowling green locals

I need one or however many I can to contact

Just someone that lives in or close to the area that could give me some business and maybe even stop by to speak to an owner if need be

I have spoken to the higher ups (can't have their name on this section of the festivities) and have something in the works for everyone to.have a place to go after the strip closes.

Thanks

Won't go anywhere too fast if I can't find any locals! LOL

I had this thought on Sunday. Went back after everyone left and contacted who I needed to and find out "their" opinion on the subject.

I'll tell you this- Cops hate us.

It will be up to us (if we find a spot) to keep it civil. This will be a spot that is there for hanging out... No stupid/(fun) stuff. Won't be a burn out spot, or WOT pulls down a open stretch/etc.
This might be our one and only chance to have a place to hang and the cops can't tell us to leave... Good chance we'll only be lucky enough to find a spot once.

We were at Bob Evans right next to the Holiday Inn and the manager said he had no problem with us hanging in his lot as long as we stayed away from the building.

Default Sat

Sat they have permission for the convention center but are trying to get it in writing so the cops can't harass us. I will post a link as soon as it is all worked out they are going to make it an event on Facebook... They are trying for somewhere Fri night also..

Very interesting.

Last year it sucked going from place to place every 10 minutes because the cops would run us away.

We're adults, we just wanted a place to hang out and relax and check out each others rides after dinner.

Agreed I still haven't heard anymore but the guy said he was really busy yesterday at work. The Alchemist Would love to check out your car we will look for you, it always good to have more people to talk to and cruise with. We got into a group last year with some vettes and met some really cool people.

Yep. I talked to both. As long as Bob Evans front half of parking lot is clear in the AM they are fine with us being there at night and parking cars in the back.

I will be supporting them by eating there for breakfast. They support me, I'll return the favor.

Would be nice to get a decent group 15+ people and make sure to let them know we are eating there for their hospitality towards us.

Yeah, something like that. I'm not sure what the local police think we should do, go to bed at 8pm? As long as we are being respectful, and not doing stupid ****, there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to hang out in a parking lot away from businesses and just congregate. But that means we need to keep from doing burnouts, revving, etc etc, but that's what gets us booted.

After we had to leave the raceway gas station last year and the burnouts on that road right by there I drove up the road there and went by the Sam's club and the parking lot was empty then. The road its on is called ken bale blvd. so its off the main strip, I doubt we'd have any trouble there if we met up there bc there not open 24 hrs anyways.

That doesn't matter.

Last year, we met up in a large shopping center parking lot, close to the street, far away from the closed stores, and the cops came in and shut us down. No one was doing anything stupid, just hanging out.
